I need to do occasional stepladder work - trimming trees and my
neighbour's laurel, plus cleaning the caravan roof and seasonally
draping Christmas lights. My existing stepladder is not really
high enough, and stability can also be marginal.


I am wondering if it is time, as a precautionary investment to
reduce the risk of injury, to get something better.


The Rolls Royce solution might be something like the 10 ft

Are they as good as claimed?


Anything like that used in a garden is only going to be as stable as the
ground it's on.
